Serves 4-6

Ceviche is a traditional delicacy in Mexico and we offer several different versions at Prana del Mar. This recipe is a unique adaptation, creating a vegan version that is light, refreshing, and delicious. The perfect treat for a warm afternoon!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/4 pineapple, cored
  • 1 plantain, peeled
  • 1 mango, diced
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 cup jicama, diced
  • 1/4 avocado, diced
  • 2 tomatoes, cored and diced
  • 1/2 small red onion
  • chopped cilantro
  • juice of 4 limes
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 pinch of black pepper
  • 1/2 serrano pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons wakame seaweed, chopped

DIRECTIONS:

– To begin, ensure that your produce is neither too green nor over-ripe, then chop, seed and core fruit and vegetables.

– Place the diced fruit and vegetables in a bowl with the orange and lime juice, add the wakame seaweed and season to taste with salt and pepper; mix well and adjust seasoning as needed.

– Let it sit for about 15 to 20 minutes (optional, but improves the flavor)

– Serve on a bed of lettuce leaves with a side of corn tortilla chips.

Please note that the citrus, salt and seaweed are the secret to this recipe. The result should be juicy and a bit salty, creating a contrast with the sweetness of the fruit.We hope you enjoy it!
